Just so you and everyone else is aware. In the link you posted, everything after the question mark is a tracking id, using the link without that part of the link works perfectly fine and reduces traceability.

I think they're just implying that even if YouTube figures out how to block adblock, someone will just find a way to block the adblock block and so on ad infinitum. It will just be the same game of cat and mouse we've been playing for years with the intrusive ad business.

Yeah, but that only matters for months. We could instead just use weeks since there are 52 weeks per year, so a quarter would be 13 weeks instead of 3 months. It would be easier to determine how many weeks there are in a span of a couple months because it's not variable, or any number of months because they're just multiples of 4. I know a lot of people would be turned off by the system because the number 13 comes up so often and people are superstitious but it really would make things easier imo.

Except I've experienced the exact opposite. The iPhone users are the ones who complain about android users messing up their iMessage chats while simultaneously being too fucking stupid to realize it's Apple who is screwing them.

So I'm really confused about the whole Netflix thing. It hasn't asked me to set a household location and the whole no password sharing thing was supposed to have taken effect back in May, right? Since May, my family has continued to use Netflix as if nothing has changed and we said if they try to charge us extra, we will cancel. Our Netflix is regularly used at 4 different "households" and they have yet to charge a fee and have not automatically set a household like they claimed they would.

The article is written by a psychiatrist who studies the mental health of transgender youth. Regardless of how you feel about this subject the only scientific study this article points to was inconclusive. There is no science backing morality here, just a psychiatrist pointing out that the morality would be to allow them to compete in their identified gender league.

Or you could just use a new tv with smart features and never connect it to your network. It's what I've done with all the TVs in my house and I simply use an external device I trust to stream.

At least 4GB, my previous employer was a young guy that was an Apple simp. He bought a bunch of Mac minis as desktop computers and they only had 4GB of RAM. They were the most garbage piece of shit computer I have ever had the displeasure of being forced to use. It really wasn't even usable, it would lock up just trying to open any web browser or even the file explorer (or whatever Apple calls it). It really amazes me how Apple continues to shit in their customers mouths, tell them it's chocolate ice cream and they believe them

It's a contraction of "you" and "all." It was never a gendered phrase to start with.

LG ending their mobile division really sucked, the V series phones were some of the best phones ever imo. I really miss my V30, the quad DAC was awesome and the camera was actually pretty amazing too. They also weren't bloated with unremovable shit like flagships are nowadays.

And they charge you for that, it's why your gas is more expensive than other states.

Ads can actually be blocked in apps if you use a VPN that has the ability. Though not all apps will function with a VPN enabled

Fuuuck, I wish my rent was less than 3 times that for a 1b 1b

Sure you can, just not by months, you would need to use weeks instead to retain integer values. A half year would be 26 weeks and a quarter year would just be 13 weeks. Of course this fails if you wish to divide further, but at that point you could just say 2 months and people would know for certain you are saying 8 weeks.

I just did and I have no idea what you're talking about. All I see are my pinned apps and recently used files.

Just curious, is there a specific reason you keep data and wifi off unless you're using them?

Wow, I would immediately return any TV that pulled that bs. I have used Sony TV's for a very long time and have never encountered this issue, I even bought a new one in summer 2022 and it did not require Internet connection to function.

Because my parents pay for it and it still works in my and my brother's houses despite the no password sharing thing. We are still frequently using it in 5 different households and Netflix has yet to tell us we're being charged extra for doing so.

It looks like the belt buckle is on his right hip. Maybe he's never worn one before? Definitely would make taking your pants off interesting, lol.

Not really but you can always get a "smart" tv and never connect it to the Internet. If you want to stream just use an external device you trust like a PC

Wdym not feasible? I'm currently doing it on a non rooted android device using Mullvad VPN. Not sure what the telco has to do with ads but you can remove all of that bloatware using adb anyways.
